Laura Madalene Solon (born April 1979) is an English comedian, actress, writer, and winner of the 2005 Perrier Comedy Award, only the second woman to win as a solo performer (the first being Jenny Eclair in 1995).

Following this the BBC and Channel 4 were keen to acquire her to produce material for them, and in April 2006 it was announced by the BBC that Solon had been signed to develop projects for them on Radio and TV.[3]

In the first half of 2010 she toured with Rabbit Faced Story Soup, a play set in a publisher's office in which she played every character including an American super agent, a lightly tanned boss, a call centre worker, a diversity officer, and a publisher who has to cope with 'The French' and a dead rabbit called Ian. It contained characters from her radio show, talking and not talking, including Carol Price, who is a divorcee children's author, and Gwynneth the 'terrible' call centre worker. New characters included Marcia, an American super publishing agent.[citation needed] She always comes up with new ways of putting people down.[according to whom?]
